Great video, as always. Well done. I appreciate you spotlighting microbrands on your channel as well as the big boys. There are really some great microbrands out there that need to be seen. Thanks!
Appreciate that. For me, microbrands are the most fun in the industry. They tend to be the most daring with designs and offer the best value. I have a ton of fun checking all of these cool watches out!
Venezianico reminds me of beautiful Italian styling and each of their designs looks like art. This in particular reminds me of Orthodox/Catholic Icons having a similar tone to the dial.. Its beautiful! Take care Kieran!
That's exactly the vibe I think they want with their brand. Italian class.... you know? And fair play to them, they're doing a good job at delivering that. I'm just happy when brands are doing different stuff, yano? playing around with colours and designs. Makes my job a lot easier :)
The ultra-black is super cool! Also that new Bellanote is an absolute winner! I like it when brands put a lot of work into the actual design aspect, makes my job so much easier!
Absolutely agree with the size issue. And it really surprised me! Many of their special editions would easily appeal to women! Especially the semi precious stone dial ones. But a 49mm lug to lug?! That will unfashionably seesaw on many wrists….. Other than the ultra black 36 all the other 36’s are blah…..
It actually wears rather comfortably. I just think it has a very imposing figure on a wrist like mine. You have to have the confidence to wear it (which I do, but many won't). I'd love to see something like this in a 38mm case with a Swiss movement!
They make such great watches! This one looks like it lives up to their reputation. Haven't seen one hands on yet but I have no doubt it will be amazing. Every other one I've seen so far has been!
They're fantastic watches. On the larger side (at least the 2 divers I've tried) but absolutely beautiful. They're doing a great job Thanks for watching 🙏
Great review! This watch looks beautiful and I do agree on the size, I prefer 40mm and smaller so a lot of their watches are a miss for me. I do own the last Nereide 39mm, the GMT 39mm, Historia Temporis and Bellanotte... I wanted to add the Black Ultraleggero to my collection but find them big... Oh well, gonna keep waiting for smaller interesting ones! Cheers!
Thanks mate. I'm very jealous that you have the Bellanotte. That piece caught my eye from the moment I saw it on Instagram. Who else is making a watch that looks like that!?
Stylish, beautiful dial, quality bracelet and compact. Never heard of them before but I really like this one. Thanks for another great review Kieron, hope all's well mate 👍
I stumbled on to this Brand about a month ago, and just within the last 72 hours... I slept on a Ebay Bid and missed out on this Model watch, but with White Dial and Pepsi Bezel... that sold for $157!!! So Bummed.
I had the Nereide GMT 39 in gray and it was fine but ultimately unimpressive. It's the perfect boring watch if you want a GMT that does the job with no beauty or interest.
That's an interesting one! What about the watch did you find boring? Because the colours on the GMT range look like a ton of fun! I've not heard someone call a Venezianico boring yet.
@@TopTierTicker Everything. The dial was boring, the design was boring, the hands were boring. The Canova bracelet is really ugly, and not particularly well-built. I was incredibly disappointed. There are SO many better options in the microbrand space under $1k. I was just glad I was able to sell it for what I paid.
I actually really like it so I'll be keeping this one for a while. Especially whilst summer is among us. I'll keep you in mind when I do eventually come selling!
You might wanna research this brand, in their previous incarnation they went broke under a barrage of criticism & burnt their boats with the community.
I believe they just rebranded at some point, no? Even if that was the case, I'm not going to judge them on something I have no experience with. The watches they're creating now are fantastic.
I've just done some reading on this. The old brand name was 'Meccaniche Veneziane'. And I can't find anything negative about the brand. Feel free to share some information here regarding your statement. And please point me towards some actual evidence too. Genuinely interested to know more.
Its like the 10th different version of this model. Yes they offer a new bracelet this time but in the other models the only thing that change was the dial. And look, its not 500 limited. They have 300 more. Again a scummy tactic that they used before. Saying its limited and when they sold out, more appear by magic.
All that glitters is not gold. You said that they put more the focus on aesthetics than on functionality, but it is not exactly like that, this watch is the pure result of marketing research. It's trying to mix up all the possible appealing points (gold color, shining, rolex like clasp, breitling like multilinks bracelet...), but IMHO without success. It's big, chunky, disproportionate and not really original. A sad wannabe and, on top, it is also quite expensive. Tissot, Mido, Zodiac, Squale, Seiko, Citizen, there are a lot of better watches in that price range, watches with a past and hopefully a future. If you are a tourist in Venice you could buy a Nereide like a souvenir (really expensive one), no more than this. Ciao from Italy.
Beautifull timepiece. Venezianico is doing great things. We need italian style in the world of watches.
They do have that Italian class about them, don't they!

Great video mate. They make really cool watches. I own their ultra black. Love it.
The ultra-black is super cool! Also that new Bellanote is an absolute winner! I like it when brands put a lot of work into the actual design aspect, makes my job so much easier!
Where do you sell all the watch donated into the channel for review that you dont want to keep?
Many thanks for the very professional unbiased revew .
Astonishing mesmerizing watch of Venezianico .
With great respect

Indeed! Such a beautiful dial on this one. Full of details!
Always good to see you in the comments Nizar! Stay well 🙏

Thanks Rik! It's pure style this one! Check them out, they do make some proper stunners. Have a good weekend mate!
this and the wise ad15 would make for a nice combo
Ooo yes, great combo!

$157!? I'm guessing that was the NH35 powered version? That would've been an absolute bargain because these hold quite strong on the secondary market.
If only they'd gone for cathedral hands
I love a set of cathedral hands too! Bit of a guilty pleasure of mine

Beautiful watch, but I don't like the logo.
Nice video Kieron, my name is Keron, lol, and I would love to buy that watch off you. I know it's too big for your liking...
I actually really like it so I'll be keeping this one for a while. Especially whilst summer is among us. I'll keep you in mind when I do eventually come selling!

Another version of the Nereide.
Gotta milk that model even more
It's their flagship diver? Obviously they'll continue to improve/evolve the model!

@@tiagocortez1986 True, but anything under 1000 is a low quantity though? and I thought the pre order 500 was a lower price not a limited edition
@@tiagocortez1986they make them in batches. I asked if it was limited got a straight forward no. I have a limited from them and small batch watches.
